Stuck in a hole/Ambush
« on: April 30, 2009, 05:08:14 am »

So I was wandering around in travel, and stumbled across a haunted area. The next thing I know I'm in a 1x1 square and on above next Z level are a few enemies. I've no idea how to get out of this box, can anyone help? D:

go to sleep, and hope you can travel afterwards.

I've tried but they're watching me and I can't sleep as long as they're doing that, it says.

Wait until they get close enough to kill.

Unfortunately, it's a bug.

Maybe travel.  Throw your crap at them.  Almost literally.

If you want, I guess you could Alt-Move out of the hole. It works for getting out of rivers, so it should be enough.

Of course, when you get out of the hole start running for your life in you can't handle it.

Kill them by throwing things.  Usually those holes have mud or some such in infinite supply, so you can just keep picking up rocks or mud and chucking it at the baddies until they're all dead.  After that you can either Travel, or sleep and then Travel.

So it's like you've just fallen into a machinegun pit, huh?  In the next version the enemies will probably have a medic carrying off the wounded.

The games long abandoned now but next time in a pit, ill try alt-moving. My character was weak and 3 bleak dogs would probably have killed him anyway. Imagine that, taking 3 days to escape a 1x1 pit then being mauled by dogs :<

You're stuck in a grave. The enemies are waiting for you to fall unconscious so that they could eat your organs.

Yum yum.

Beak dogs are like velociraptors.  Like real Jurassic park crap right there.

I jumped into a hole once, just to see what it led to. It was six Z-levels deep. Needless to say, I did not leave the hole.
